There are many reasons why your menstrual cycle might
be late or even missing but there are few of them are the most probable cause
for that.
First and foremost, you might be pregnant. Of course,
pregnancy is possible only when a woman had sex with a man without using any
type of contraception. However, in some cases even if you have used protection
it is possible that it fail to protect you. Pregnancy is possible only with a
sexual intercourse, during which the man ejaculates his semen in the vagina,
but it can also happen in cases when the man, just before ejaculation, pulls
the penis out of the vagina. Anal sex, oral sex and all other types of sex
can’t lead to pregnancy. In case you had sexual intercourse that can lead
result in pregnancy and the menstrual cycle is late, there are two options for
you. You can buy a pregnancy test or you can calculate the so-called fertile
days.
Calculating fertile days is not really the perfect choice for protection
because they are not very reliable, but they can help you establish a framework
about whether you were fertile during that period or not.
Women are usually most fertile between two menstrual
cycles. Sometimes this state is visible thanks to the increased vaginal
discharge. This fertile period is also called a period of ovulation.
In order to determine your fertile days you can also
use so-called menstrual calendars. These calendars have many purposes – from
calculating fertile days to observation of your body’s behavior. These
calendars can help your gynecologist a lot because we often can’t remember when
the last time we had a period or some other things related with our sexual health. Ovulation can be affected by alcohol, tobacco, drugs, stress, diseases
and more. That’s why we can’t rely on calculating the fertile days.
The link between the moon and menstrual cycles has been
proved many times. The moon phase of fertility might occur at any time, no
matter when was your last menstruation. The moon fertility period is calculated
for each woman individually, based on the time of birth.
Menstruation can be late or missing for many other
reasons. One of the major causes of this is of course – stress. Menstruation
can fail because your body is trying to establish a new balance. That’s why
teenage girls have so many irregular menstruations. Establishing a regular
menstrual cycle can last for several years and in order to achieve that women
should take care about their diet – eating too much or too little can affect
the menstruation. Furthermore, excessive exercising can lead to body exhaustion
and this kind of routine can confuse your menstrual cycle.
Irregular menstruation and its absence might be a
short-term or long-term occurrence. In cases of long-term irregularities, the
best option is to visit your gynecologist. If this is a short-term problem, try
to find out what kind of changes in your life happened during that period.
Menstruation can be a great indicator about what is
going on in the woman’s body.
